Wedding Photos
Ashley and I were married at Reynolda Church in Winston-Salem, NC, on February 11th of 2023. Most of these amazing shots were taken by a very excellent photographer of Ashley’s choice - I would praise him by name here except that he preferred to remain anonymous.
The wedding seems to have been almost universally regarded as the best that anyone in attendance had ever seen. Maybe they were just being nice, but we heard this sentiment from many observers - including our coordinator, who had been planning weddings for over 40 years; she declared that it was her favorite wedding in all the time that she had been involved in such work.
This was an unforgettable day and the proudest day of my life.
